Early life and education
Sgutsis was born in the city of Flian, Anbir to a family of Swutsim descent as the second of three children. Her father was the physicist and composer Avnin Axew, who was professor of physics in the University of Hiravnol. Her mother, Hłava Sgutsis (adapted from Talman Swutsim Scütsis), was a ðavr player and music teacher (she was also a composer). Her mother's brother, Mugiv Ytxude, was a jogóm player.
A child prodigy, Sgutsis was taught the ðavr and math from a young age. She once rediscovered just intonation cross-sets from looking at a multiplication table. She was allowed to skip boarding school and to enroll in the University of Hiravnol in math at age 10 by taking an entrance exam. She was an exceptionally gifted student and graduated in mathematics and music with honors at age 16 (fT 2052).
After graduating, Sgutsis studied composition and instrumentation with [Anbirese composer]. At this time she began corresponding with a number of Anbirese and Rhythoed composers, musicians and theorists to exchange ideas about music. Much of her theoretical work took place within these letters.
Later life
Later in life Sgutsis made a living performing, conducting and selling her compositions. She published her treatise for the first time in fT 1166.
In fT 1190, Sgutsis retired from her academic post and secluded herself, intending to focus solely on composition. She lived in a house in Sŋoran until she died of a stroke in fT 1200.
Compositions
In earlier work, Sgutsis used classical-style JI scales, including larger cross sets, and some scales of her own invention. However, later she gravitated more and more towards free JI, since she found fixed scales too restrictive for her purposes. Sgutsis often worked in the ambient space of marvel temperament.
Sgutsis also dabbled in poetry and set some of her own poems to choral works and art songs, in addition to poetry by such writers as Grouid and Jopah.
- Bwrjadreeg Cantatas
- Many pieces of chamber music, including 17 string quartets
- Choral pieces
- Art songs
- Some (many of them love songs) are duets, using the yeejeħrhoog technique
- Settings of Etsoj Jopah's poems
- A few vyláms
- One Alice in Wonderland type thing
- One or two of ___'s tragedies (?)
- Many pieces for the unaccompanied violin / ðavr
- Many pieces for solo guitar
Contributions to music theory
Sgutsis's music theory was concerned with constructing various JI scales and approximating JI as well as possible while introducing flexibility.
- Many JI constant structure scales including scales with 16, 18, 23, and other numbers of notes
- Constant structures generated by step sizes
- Marvel temperaments (225/224, 385/384, 676/675), including miracle
- Noted properties of particular equal temperaments, such as 19edo, 22edo, 31edo, and 41edo.
- Riemann zeta functions and good EDOs
These ideas in particular influenced
- Garinsher Bloisin: Anbirese music theorist who developed regular temperament theory
- Honan Đawhindøø: Fyxoomian classical composer
Bibliography
- (a treatise of all her music theory ideas)
- (collection of essays)
- (an autobiography or a memoir)
Personal life and views
A lesbian, Sgutsis never had children. She had a few female lovers throughout her life.
Family members:
- Osri Sgutsis (older sister) - music teacher
- Yzih Sgutsis (younger sister)
Sgutsis was a vegetarian.
Sgutsis was not very politically active - however, she seems to have been less nationalistic and more universalistic than earlier Anbirese composers, at least in her earlier years. She was generally pro-industrialization and pro-democracy.
